I asked what do u mean, she said, she at watermellon seeds like u did and grew a huge watermellon in her stomach, so for a month, i never ate a watermellon...

One day when I was about 6 my older brother, 11 at the time, saw me eating an orange and noticed I was eating some of the smaller, softer seeds that were in the orange.
He told me a story about our cousin that had been eating oranges like that and had to be rushed to the hospital when they discovered an orange blossom in his ear!
For a while after that I could not eat oranges until my mom started buy naval oranges. And I spread the story until someone at school pointed out my foolery!

my mom told me that if i accidentally ate one of the black watermelon seeds a watermelon would grow inside my stomach. THis scared the crap outta me and it sucked cause it was my first and favorite food

When I was four, my mom told me not to eat the black seeds in watermelon. (I still don't know why!) But I knew that I accidentally swallowed one. I kept imagining that a watermelon vine was growing in my stomach. I was afraid to confront my mom, because I thought she would take me to the hospital and get an operation.

at age 4-6 my brother and me loved watermelon sooo much. once we sallow a seed and open our mouth toward the sunlight hoping it would grow in our stomach.

When i was young, Maybe 4, my older brother told me if i planted the seeds on top of Cheeseburgers, a Cheeseburger tree would grow. Needless to say, after weeks of watering and tending, my Cheeseburger tree never sprouted.

When my little sister was 3 she asked what would happen to the watermelon seeds that she just swallowed. I told her it would grow in her body and out from the top of her head. She looked at me for a moment. Then I pulled up my sleeve and pointed to my blood vein and said "look these are roots from the ones I swallowed yesterday." She stared at my arm and stoned....

I used to believe that when you ate water-melon seed, it'll grow in your head.

Someone in my kindergarten class told me once that apple seeds were poisonous and they'd kill you in a second if you bit down on them. I believed that for a lonnnng time!

I used to be very afraid that watermelons would grow in my stomach when I swallow the seeds on accident.

I used to refuse to eat seeds because I thought they were radioactive (this was around the time of the Chernobyl disaster)

My mom told me once that if i ate black watermelon seeds, a watermelon would actually grow in my stomache.

When i was about 7 or so one of my cousins told me that if I ate a watermelon seed it would grow in my stomach. For years I never ate a seed

Marcus

I was always told that if you eat the seeds out of watermelon that baby watermelons would grow in your stomach. Now I can't stand the site of it even though I know this is not true!!!

I honestly believed untill I was 13ish that if you swallowed a watermelon seed it would plant its self into your stomache, grow into a huge melon and make you explode. -and there was nothing any doctor could do about it.

***I used to believe that if you swallowed a black watermelon sedd then you would grow a watermelon in your stomach. Because when i was little my grandpa had a big belly that looked like the shape of a watermelon and he told me that he got that by swallowing a black watermelon seed and a watermelon grew in his stomach.so ever since i always made sure that i didnt eat the black watermelon seeds
<3 me always***

When I was young I belived that if you ate watermelons with the seeds, they would grow in your stomach. So I was really careful when I ate them.

My mom believes that receiving sesame seeds or substance containing sesame seeds by hand leads to disagreements between those people.
(And i didnt totally disbelieve her either.)
I used to happily hand them between people i love but never between those i usually quibble at. Good usage ha?

Again this is a friend of mine. At 6 she had been told that eggs were chicken seeds. She reasoned that she could grow a chicken tree/plant with an egg from the refrigerator. (She had a lot of plants in her room that she took good care of, even at 6). She potted the egg in dirt and put the pot near the window in her room, watering it everyday and spraying it to keep bugs away. She learned the truth when her mother asked her what kind of plant was in the pot of dirt by the window (noticing nothing was growing there even after 3 months of watering/sunshine). Her mother got the biggest laugh when her daughter said she was growing a chicken tree.
